The professionals at Commonwealth Dodge have been working with drivers throughout the Kentucky community for more than 40 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Hooking up drivers and their families to the appropriate Dodge vehicle is as satisfying for us as it is for our customers from Jeffersontown or Fern Creek. We train our specialists to be knowledgeable of all five Dodge models: Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey.

With the reputation of Dodge imprinted on the newest Dodge Journey, you can expect the same degree of power, technology, and safety that makes each one bolder than the previous model. For a crossover, the 2019 Journey comprises unusual features that a driver might have thought were reserved for an SUV body style, like a three-row, seven-passenger seating layout. Dodge isn't the only brand that crafts crossovers, so you may or may have already encountered other contenders from other brands.

Brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Honda and Toyota each have a crossover model that could easily snag your attention as you research your vehicle options. Whether you've looked at these four options or not, we want to assist you in basing your decision off features that matter to you and your family. If your focus lies on power, safety, seating, or technology, you'll see the advantages that Dodge carries over the remaining brands. Do yourself a favor and see how the 2019 Dodge Journey stacks up against the latest Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 competitors before making any rash decisions about financing or leasing.

2019 Dodge Journey vs. 2019 Ford Escape

The Ford Escape competitor only comprises a two-row design while the Dodge Journey contains three rows of seating that seat up to seven people at any one time.

The Dodge Journey's 283-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar powertrain with 260 pound-feet of torque trumps any of the three engines offered under the Ford Escape hood.

There is less than an inch difference between the Ford Escape and Dodge Journey's cargo capacities when all rows aside from the front row are folded (68 cubic-feet vs. 67.6 cubic-feet).

The Dodge Journey model makes up for a slightly smaller cargo capacity by featuring standard and convenient in-floor storage compartments in front of the second row of seats.

The 2019 Dodge Journey features the typical split crosshair front grille that adds to its daring design. Plus, there's one more exterior color shade compared to the 2019 Ford Escape.

2019 Dodge Journey vs. 2019 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2019 Journey continues to dominate its competitors' seating capacity with the 2019 Chevy Equinox only having a five-passenger limit unlike the seven-person limit in the Dodge Journey.

This domination only continues when comparing cargo capacity since the 2019 Journey hosts 67.6 cubic-feet over the Chevy Equinox's 63.9 cubic-feet. This advantage could be the difference between storing one more suitcase or a bag of groceries.

The Dodge Journey crossover features a higher maximum horsepower than the Chevy competitor: 283 horsepower vs. 252 horsepower, thanks to its available 3.6-liter V6 powertrain.

The 8.4-inch infotainment system in the Dodge Journey is larger than the seven or eight-inch touchscreen option found in the four-trim Chevy Equinox.

Dodge designed the 2019 Journey to have a set of standard features across all three trims like fog lamps, heated exterior mirrors and LED taillights. These features pop up on the Chevy Equinox but are not standard amenities on all trims.

Only five people can ride along in the 2019 CR-V while up to seven people can enjoy an exhilarating ride in the 2019 Journey. That's the advantage of three-row seating.

The largest available wheel size for the 2019 Journey is 19-inch aluminum wheels, while only 18-inch wheels come in the CR-V crossover. This larger size wheel gives the 2019 Journey a sportier, outdoorsy look.

Your navigation, music, and communication will be handled through an available 8.4-inch touchscreen that serves as a bigger counterpart than both options in the Honda CR-V.

The three-zone temperature control means more flexible setting options for interior comfort in the 2019 Journey over the subtle dual-zone climate control feature in the Honda CR-V.

2019 Dodge Journey vs. 2019 Toyota RAV4

The 2019 Dodge Journey SE, Crossroad and GT trims all have all-wheel drive available, while most of the Toyota RAV4 trims do not have that drivetrain as an option.

A 203-horsepower engine with 184 pound-feet of torque powers the 2019 RAV4, which doesn't come close to matching the powerhouse that drivers can choose for any 2019 Journey trim: the 283-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6.

While the 98.9 cubic-feet of cargo capacity in the 2019 RAV4 exceeds the maximum capacity in the 2019 Journey, the Dodge crossover returns with its key advantage: standard three rows of seats and in-floor storage bins.

Keeping your hands toasty as you drive during the wintertime is a wonderful bonus with an available heated steering wheel in the Dodge Journey that isn't available throughout all RAV4 models.

Since it's a largest-in-class standard, the 8.4-inch touchscreen that drivers use in their Dodge Journey is larger than the maximum eight-inch screen that you'll see in the Toyota RAV4.
